FN SCAR 16S $?

So what’s the going rate these days? I stumbled on one for $2695 while looking for an AK sling of all things.

That is the best price I’ve seen on them.

They are getting cheaper, Gunbroker sold one for $2301 a few days back. I am watching them also.

Local shop has one for $2495.

All the local SCAR’s from 5 months ago went for $5000+

Recently I have seen them in the $2500-$3000 range locally

Paid $3k for mine, but I couldnt wait.

Went to the Gun Show in Chantilly VA yesterday got there when the doors opend at 0900 saw 3 and by 1000 2 were spoken for.
Got to handel one and really liked it A LOT…it was priced at $2650. I think that was a little high but at a GS I an not surprised.
I would like to get one but a $2000+ carbine is not in the cards any time soon.

Buds gun shop had one for $2290.

Wow, that is really good. Makes me wonder what dealer cost is? I’m guessing under $2K…

About $20 over $2100 from a distributor, no idea if stocking dealers get a better deal. Of course none of them have gotten any for sale to non-stocking dealers, so…

FWIW: The SCAR-H just showed up in a distributors catalog, $200 more than the SCAR 16S.

Next year is going to get expensive.

Ooooohhh I just got all tingly!! :smiley:

I bet it’s less. Look at the mark ups/gouging on the 6920s over the past 12 months. From $2700 at the height of histaria, to below $1200 now and it’s still marked up.

It’s not less. As stated;

And exactly $2,128.73. I don’t know why these numbers are kept so secret though, it’s between fellow gun owners. :frowning:

There was a NIB scar on sturmgewehr this morning for $2100.

I only stated “about 20 over $2100” because I’ve seen three dealer prices which are all different, all within a few bucks of each other. Dealer is no big secret IMHO.

RE: The 6920, other than Colt increases, I never saw a massive increase in cost from a distributor, then a retraction in the price… They have gone up minimal amounts, but the mark-up on the street was on the retail side.

The FN SCAR will/would drop below the prices mentioned if there is stock and they are not moving. Case in point, I bought a S&W 442 (NiL) and when I was transferring it out of my FFL someone expressed interest, so one was ordered, the price had gone down a few bucks.

I bet if nobody expressed an interest in SCARs the price would drop a couple of hundred bucks. Look at what the P90s were going for in the first 12-18mo compared to now.

That will translate to a typical street price of about $2450.

I dont think it’s possible for no one to express interest in a SCAR. It’s the “Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday” theory. It’s just a fact that people like to own gear associated with super swoopy operators.

Weight empty is listed @ 3.621 or 3.9 KILOS (>8.6 lbs.) BUT did not specify it it was 16" or SBR etc…

THAT is the BEST news I have heard in some time.
